CHARGING AFTER DRIVING
Charging the Li-ion battery
When you return home, connect the ve-
hicle to the charging device installed at
your home or the EVSE plugged to outlet
using the normal charge connector.
Charge the vehicle or set the charging
timer function to have the vehicle charge
at a specific time. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Charging timer” in the “Charg-
ing” section of this manual.1. When the power switch is turned off, the
settings of the charging timer, and the
Climate Ctrl. Timer and the charge con-
nector lock functions are displayed on
the vehicle information display. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Vehicle infor-
mation display” in the “Instruments and
controls” section of this manual.
2. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, re-
fer to “Charge port lid” in the “Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section of this
manual. 3. Connect the charge connector to the
vehicle.
4. When the charging timer is turned on, charging starts at the set time. When the
charging timer is not turned on, charg-
ing starts immediately.
NOTE:
•Charging can be started remotely, even
if the charging timer is set up.
•
When you have forgotten to connect the
charge connector at home, there is a
function that can notif y you via a text
message capable cellular phone, internet
enabled smart phone or personal com-
puter. For additional information, refer to
“Charging related remote function” in the
“Charging” section of this manual (mod-
els with Navigation System).
• NISSAN recommends that you connect
the normal charge cable when getting
out of the vehicle, even if it is not going
to be used. By doing this, you can get
the most out of the remote climate con-
trol (models with Navigation System)
and Climate Ctrl. Timer functions the
next time you use the vehicle.
EV-22EV Overview

• Do not operate the charging timer repeat-edly while the charge connector is con-
nected to the vehicle af ter the Li-ion bat-
tery charging is completed. Doing so may
discharge the 12-volt battery.
• The power of the Li-ion battery can be checked on the Li-ion battery available
charge gauge. For additional information,
refer to “Li-ion battery available charge
gauge” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual.

shif t control system. This control system
has three features:
• Smooth and easy shif t lever operation.
• To place the vehicle in the P (Park) position,push the P (Park) position switch on the
shif t lever.
• The vehicle automatically applies the P (Park) position when the power switch is
placed in the OFF position. For additional information, refer to “Driving
the vehicle” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion of this manual.
LED HEADLIGHT (LOW BEAM) (IF SO
EQUIPPED)

Charging stations or V2X charging/
discharging devices using this standard
are UL certified and safe to use in the US.
While supported by NISSAN, this connector
may not become the US SAE standard. V2X
charging/discharging is possible (even
several times a day). If the battery tempera-
ture is near the red zone, in order to protect
the battery, power of the V2X charging/
discharging will be limited.For additional information, consult a V2X
device manufacturer or a V2X charging/
discharging service provider.
Power limitation mode
This mode protects the health and opera-
tion of the vehicle's Li-ion battery. This
mode operates in certain extreme condi-
tions (heat, cold, low state of charge). Power
available to vehicle systems, including its
traction motor, is limited resulting in limited
performance, acceleration and top speed.
Charging may be automatically termi-
nated, especially with repeated quick
charging in extreme hot weather.
Checking Li-ion battery charge
The three methods for checking the
amount of charge are as follows:
• Check by using the Li-ion battery available
charge gauge on the vehicle information
display when the power switch is placed in
the ON position. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Li-ion battery available
charge gauge” and “Low battery charge
indicator” in the “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual. • Check by using an internet enabled
smart phone or personal computer. For
additional information, refer to the
“NissanConnect® Manual (for Leaf ).
• Check by using the charging status indi- cator light. For additional information,
refer to “Charging status indicator lights”
in this section.
NOTE:
• During the charge operation, charge
continues when the power switch is
placed in the ON position.
• The Li-ion battery cannot be charged if
the quick charge connector and the
normal charge connector are con-
nected at the same time. If another
charge connector is connected mid-
charge, charging will stop.
• For safety reasons, it is not possible to
switch to the READY to drive position
while a charge connector is connected.
• During charging, it is possible that the
radio may be inaudible due to noise by
the electromagnetic wave.
